Just curious whether this is happening again. It happened a few years back when there were queues.
There are surely some, but it’s not like suddenly a bunch of people starting botting to stay logged in.

This is how you keep track of your position in the queue right?
Sorry for not being clear. I’m concerned about players using botting to avoid being logged out once they are logged in.
When there were queues when classic first was released, botting was used by players to avoid being logged out, once they were logged in.
You’d go into an inn, and you’d see a dozen players just randomly hopping every once in a while, in the middle of the night. It allowed them to sleep, to go to work, and then come back and play with no need to sit in a 3 hour queue.
Just curious if this is the case again.
Not botting.
People are using Macros to stay moving. Razer has a macro built into their products you can configure. Ive even used it for work to do my work for me

This is botting, isn’t it? If the macro can be assigned to repeat an input automatically with no user input.
If there isn’t a direct input from a person to keep yourself in game like pushing a key yourself then it starts to fall into a grey zone and automation depending on what it actually is.
Blizzard can’t actually see what you’re doing of course behind your key board but if people report your character, a temp ban shows up and then a GM reviews it eventually if he feels like it and sees from an outside perspective that a player jumping in place or running in circles for hours on end and his conclusion is entirely up to him at that point.
I find it unlikely that any GMs are looking for people themselves without multiple reports and who knows what Warden actually sees nowadays or when it was last updated.
But to the point of Bots, most players won’t actually use botting programs for this, the most primitive method was a water drinking bird to hit the keyboard but nowadays there’s other stuff you can figure out.
You can remote log in and do basic functions even from your phone
